N. inermis

[ludwig777]

I am new to inermis; are these lowers, intermediates, or uppers? Thanks for your input:

I believe true "uppers" on N. inermis should completely lack a peristome.

My plant looks very similar, but has a small amount of reddish pigmentation, which I'm told indicates it is not the "true" species.

they look like intermediets to me.

the tendril attachment is on the side so i would say intermediate. only when its right behind the pitcher is when its uppers. color also comes into play but i think with inermis id doesnt matter...

Thanks, I never knew that.

I have a very young N. inermis. What conditions does this plant like?

 

[ludwig777]

I've only had mine a couple months but it is in highland conditions with frequent overhead watering and doing fine. I did notice not to feed it too many bugs as the pitchers rot easily. Mine catches dozens of gnats on its own so I just leave it alone.

That's a young inermis pitcher. When they get bigger the "uppers" totally lack a peristome. Here's a link to my site so you can check it out.

Joel: I just want to say that I love your site and I use it all the time for Nep info. Thanks for creating it!

Hey thanks!! I need to update the photos on some plants. Will do that soon. This summer when I have a little more time maybe I can add to the soil, temp, water sections for clarification. Seems like a lot more Neps are available in retail nurseries but the staff has very little experience about cultivation. Thanks again for the compliments!!

My Wistuba Clone A looks like the same actually. Uppers should arrive very soon!

Whent the pitcher shows reddish pigmentation it's probably because the plant is not so pure, i had got an inermisxbongso and it was just like that:

Not a beautiful discover at all...

 

[MrAga73]

Man, sell the plant!

Or better don't give the plant away without telling what it really is.
So at least the market will remain pure.

Federico,
take a look at the basal shoot of my Inermis ( Andreas Wistuba A Clone ) if this picture can help you.
It looks a little more like yours...
